Team news: Confirmed Liverpool line-up v Brighton

Liverpool make nine changes for this afternoon’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Only Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri retain their places in the starting line-up from the team deployed against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup tie on Monday night.

Jordan Henderson is named in midfield at the Amex Stadium after recovering from a knock and Joel Matip is included among the substitutes, but Daniel Sturridge is absent from the matchday squad due to a virus.
